'''Al Hind Air''' is an [[India|Indian]] [[regional airline]] from [[Kerala]].

== AlHind Group ==
AlHind Group is a Kerala-based conglomerate with significant presence in the [[UAE]]. It was founded and promoted by Mohammed Haris T who is a veteran in travel and tourism sector especially [[Hajj|Haj]] pilgrimage. Established in the early 1990s, it expanded to the Middle East in 1995 and launched a significant B2B portal in 2014.<ref name="TW261225" />

==Pre-Launch Challenges==
Despite securing its NOC in December 2025, Alhind Air’s transition from a travel conglomerate to a commercial airline is currently stalled by aircraft acquisition and financing disputes. Due to prolonged delays between the initial plan and the NOC issuance, holding costs skyrocketed.<ref name="FE30122025">{{cite news |author1=Akbar Merchant |title=Aircraft acquisition, funding delays stall Alhind Air launch |url=https://www.financialexpress.com/business/airlines-aviation-aircraft-acquisition-funding-delays-stall-alhind-air-launch-4092556/ |access-date=1 January 2026 |work=The Financial Express |date=30 December 2025 |language=en}}</ref>

=== Fleet Constraints===
Initial reports suggest that this airline carrier will operate [[ATR 72-600]] aircraft from [[Kochi]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Will new airlines like Shankh Air, Al Hind Air, FlyExpress help break up the IndiGo-Air India duopoly?- The Week |url=https://www.theweek.in/news/biz-tech/2025/12/25/will-new-airlines-like-shankh-air-al-hind-air-fly-express-help-break-up-the-indigo-air-india-duopoly.html |work=www.theweek.in}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=After IndiGo crisis, govt gives nod to 3 new airlines: Al Hind Air, FlyExpress and Shankh Air |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/aviation-ministry-gives-nod-to-2-new-airlines-al-hind-air-and-flyexpress-what-we-know-101766567177463.html |access-date=26 December 2025 |work=Hindustan Times |date=24 December 2025 |language=en}}</ref> Alhind Air’s launch has been stalled by a preference for purchasing three pre-owned ATR 72 turboprops (4–5 years old) aircraft instead of leasing to lower long-term costs, which requires massive upfront capital that lenders are currently hesitant to provide.<ref name="FE30122025" /><ref>{{cite news |author1=Vasudha Mukherjee |title=Why Al Hind Air, FlyExpress NOC nod isn't enough to boost competition |url=https://www.forbesindia.com/article/news/why-al-hind-air-flyexpress-noc-nod-isnt-enough-to-boost-competition/2989840/1 |access-date=1 January 2026 |work=www.forbesindia.com |date=26 Dec 2025 |language=en}}</ref>

=== Financial Difficulties===
Just days after receiving its NOC from the government, reports emerged that Alhind Air has placed its staff on indefinite unpaid leave due to severe financial strain. Citing the [[The Financial Express (India)|Financial Express]], [[Outlook Business]] reported that approximately 120 employees have been instructed not to report for duty. The airline revealed monthly expenditures of roughly ₹2 crore (primarily salaries) without any incoming revenue, leading to "significant financial losses."<ref name="FE30122025" /><ref name="OB271225">{{cite news |title=Kochi’s Alhind Air Puts Staff on Unpaid Leave Days After Securing NOC: Here’s Why |url=https://www.outlookbusiness.com/corporate/kochis-alhind-air-puts-staff-on-unpaid-leave-days-after-securing-noc-heres-why |access-date=1 January 2026 |work=Outlook Business |date=27 December 2025 |language=en}}</ref>

=== Regulatory Requirements===
For begin the flight operations, the airline must still complete aircraft induction, crew training and regulatory "proving flights" — a process that the company claims to be "prolonged" and "challenging."<ref name="FE30122025" /><ref name="OB271225" />

The '''Western Hindi languages''', are a branch of the [[Indo-Aryan language family]] spoken chiefly in [[Haryana]], [[Western Uttar Pradesh]] and [[Bundelkhand]] region of [[Madhya Pradesh]], in [[Northwest India|Northwest]] and [[Central India]]. The Western Hindi languages evolved from [[Sauraseni Prakrit]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Zograph|first=G.A.|title=Languages of South Asia: A guide|date=8 March 2023 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DB-yEAAAQBAJ|isbn=9781000831658|quote=Numerically, the content of the Central Group of the Indo-Aryan languages has been very variously assessed by different researchers: Chatterji sees in it one language while Grierson enumerated six. Strictly speaking, the core of this group is represented not by languages at all, but by a number of closely related dialects-Braj, Kanauji and Bundell, which together with Khari Boli and Hariani, can be lumped under the common title 'Western Hindi'. The last-mentioned two dialects which occupy the north-western corner of the area covered by Hindi, display a number of common features with Panjabi, which in its turn can be seen as a transitional link with the most typical representative of the North Western group – Lahnda. Closely connected with the dialects of the 'Western Hindi' group are Awadhi, Bagheli and Chattisgarhi, which come under the heading of '[[Eastern Hindi]]'. Linguistically, these can be regarded as a transitional stage between the Central [= Western Hindi] and the Eastern groups of languages [= Eastern Indo-Aryan]. The 'intermediate' character of this group of dialects seems to have taken shape as far back as the Old Indo-Aryan period. The Middle Indo-Aryan forerunner of the contemporary Eastern Hindi dialects was the Ardhamagadhi Prakrit, which was a transitional form between Sauraseni and Magadhi; the present-day Central dialects go back to Sauraseni, while the languages of the Eastern group derive from Magadhi}}</ref> The most-spoken language in the Western Hindi language family is [[Hindustani language|Hindustani]] (comprising the [[Standard language|standard]] [[Register (sociolinguistics)|registers]] of [[Standard Hindi]], commonly referred to as just 'Hindi', and [[Standard Urdu]]), deriving from the [[Khariboli dialect]] of [[Delhi]].<ref name="Grierson" />{{rp|1}}<ref>{{cite book |last=Shapiro |first=Michael C. |title=A Primer of Modern Standard Hindi |publisher=Motilal Banarsidass Publishers Private Limited |year=1990 |orig-year=1989 |isbn=81-208-0508-9 |location=Delhi |url=https://archive.org/details/primerofmodernst0000shap |pp=3-5}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Kachru |first=Yamuna |author-link=Yamuna Kachru |title=Hindi |year=2006 |p=1 |isbn=9789027293145 |doi=10.1075/loall.12 |series=London Oriental and African Language Library |volume=12 |publisher=John Benjamins Publishing Company}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Shapiro |first=Michael C. |year=2003 |chapter=Hindi |editor1-last=Cardona |editor1-first=George |editor2-last=Jain |editor2-first=Dhanesh |title=The Indo-Aryan Languages |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-0-415-77294-5 |p=277}}</ref>

'''Ramman''' is a [[Religion|religious]] [[festival]] and ritual theatre of the [[Garhwal division|Garhwal region]] in [[India]]. It is a festival of the [[Garhwali people|Garhwali People]] celebrated in many villages of the region. Although there are many Rammans, such as the Jak Ramman, one of the most popular is the masked Ramman of the Saloor Dungra village of the Painkhanda Valley in the [[Chamoli district]] in [[Uttarakhand]], India.<ref name="Ramman">{{cite journal |last1=Prateek |title=Many Rammans in Uttarakhand: Jak and Bhumyal Renditions |journal=Theatre Journal |date=March 2024 |volume=76 |issue=1 |page=E-1 |doi=10.1353/tj.2024.a929507 |url=https://muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/929507 |access-date=2 July 2024|url-access=subscription }}</ref>

The masked Ramman is unique to the Saloor-Dungra village and is neither replicated nor performed anywhere else in the [[Himalayas|Himalayan]] region. The festival and the eponymous art form are conducted as an offering to the village deity, Bhumiyal Devta, in the courtyard of the village temple.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Tribune |first=Bombay |date=2022-02-14 |title=Ramman Dance : An endangered cultural heritage of India |url=https://bombaytribune.com/news/ramman-dance-an-endangered-cultural-heritage-of-india/ |access-date=2022-04-29 |website=Bombay Tribune |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Ramman: Religious Festival and Ritual Theatre of the Garhwal Himalayas |url=http://www.indianculture.gov.in/intangible-cultural-heritage/social-practices-rituals-and-festive-events/ramman-religious-festival |access-date=2022-04-29 |website=INDIAN CULTURE |language=en}}</ref>

== Deity ==
The guardian deity of Saloor Dungra is Bhumichetrapal, also known as Bhumiyal Devta. The festival is held in her honour every year after [[Baisakhi]], a [[harvest festival]] that also marks the beginning of the [[Hindu Solar Calendar|Hindu Solar New Year]]. On the day of Baisakhi, the village priest announces the date for the Ramman festival which falls on the ninth or the eleventh day after Baisakhi.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/ramman-religious-festival-and-ritual-theatre-of-the-garhwal-himalayas-india-00281|title=UNESCO - Ramman, religious festival and ritual theatre of the Garhwal Himalayas, India|website=Ich.unesco.org|access-date=1 December 2021}}</ref>
The Bhumiyal Devta comes out in a procession to the temple on the day of Baisakhi. The second day, people offer ''hariyali'' (sprouted barley plants), to the deity who, in turn, promises prosperity to all, including agricultural yield and forest produce. Every day of the festival, the Devta takes a round of the village. The festival lasts for ten days during which time the [[Ramayana|local epic of Rama]] is sung and masked dances depicting different aspects of life take place in the courtyard of the Bhumiyal Devta's [[temple]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ramman: Religious Festival and Ritual Theatre of the Garhwal Himalayas |url=https://www.sangeetnatak.gov.in/public/uploads/events/16478847324914.pdf}}</ref> It is said that the Ramman festival is celebrated here from a very old time for about 500 years, as well as the festival is celebrated jointly by the local panchayat for 11 to 13 days. Raman Festival Is organized here too, but It is said that this festival of Sallud and Dungra is more famous<ref name="Rawat">{{Cite web |last=Rawat |first=Geeta |date=Jul 22, 2024 |title=Unveiling the Ramman Festival: A Cultural Treasure of Uttarakhand |url=https://samagrashikshanews.online/ramman-festival-uttarakhand/ |website=samagrashikshanews.online/}}</ref>

== Festivities and dances ==
The Ramman begins with an invocation to [[Ganesha]], the remover of obstacles followed by the dance of Ganesha and [[Parvati]]. This is followed by the dance of [[Surya|the Sun God]], an enactment of the creation-myth of the birth of [[Brahma]] and Ganesha. The other dances include the dance of the [[Narada|Bur Deva]] along with Gopi Chand ([[Krishna]]) and [[Radha|Radhika]], the Mwar-Mwarin dance that showcases the travails of the buffalo herders and the [[Bania (caste)|Baniya]]-Baniyain Nritya (dance of the trader-couple) that shows the hardships faced by the common people.<ref name="NominationNo">Nomination No. 00281 for inscription on the Representative List in 2009. UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, Abu Dhabi 2009.</ref>
After these initial performances, the focus now shifts to the enactment of the local Ramkatha. Episodes from [[Rama|Rama's]] life, beginning with his visit to [[Janakpur]] and culminating with his coronation following his return from exile, are sung to a total of 324 beats and steps. Another important aspect of these performances is the singing of Jagar, a musical rendition of local legends.<ref name="NominationNo" />

There are also other dances and episodes like the Maal Nritya, Koorjogi and Narsingh Pattar Nritya that follow the Ramkatha. In the Maal Nritya, a historical battle between the [[Gurkhas|Gurkhas of Nepal]] and the local [[Garhwali people|Garhwalis]] is comically enacted by a troupe of four dancers dressed in red and white. It is mandatory to have a red Maal from the [[Kunwar (title)|Kunwar caste]] of Saloor village, as it is believed that this hamlet supported the Gorkhas while the other three are selected by the panches of the Gram Panchayat.<ref name="NominationNo" />

In the Koorjogi ceremony, weeds (''koor'') from the village fields are pulled out by a ''Koorjogi'', a character who carries a sack full of these weeds. There is much merriment as people throw these weeds at each other in a spirit of a communal sport.<ref name="NominationNo" />

== Community participation ==
The villagers of [[Saloor-Dungra]] are the inheritors, organizers and financers of the Ramman festival. All households, irrespective of caste and community, offer prayers and perform rituals to the main deities of the Ramman.
The roles of the various castes in the festival are however well established. Talented youth and elders selected by village heads are the performers at Ramman. The [[Brahmin priest]]s conduct the rituals and prepare and serve ''prasada'' to the deity. Baaris are charged with the organization and collection of funds while the Dhaaris are a group that assists the baaris in organizing the event. The baaris and dhaaris are assigned their duties by the Gram panchas. It is also these panchas who select the residence of the Bhumiyal Devta till the next Ramman festival. The family where Bhumiyal Devta resides for the year has to maintain a strict daily routine and a place in the house is demarcated and consecrated for the deity. The Jagar is sung by the Jagaris or [[Bhalla (tribe)|Bhalla]]s of the [[Rajput|Rajput caste]] who are professional [[bards]]. The playing of drums is central to the festivities and this is done by drummers of the [[Das (caste)|Das community]], [[Caste system in India|the lowest caste]], whose status is elevated during the performance.<ref name="NominationNo" />

The festival ends with a feast where the ''prasada'' of the deity is distributed as a sacrament.

== Threatened and unique tradition ==
Ramman combines the sacred and the social, the ritualistic with revelry and expresses the history, faith, lifestyle, fears and hopes of the Saloor Dungra villagers through a mesh of oral, literary, visual, kinetic and traditional craft forms. It is an annual affair that children learn by watching. The various skills it involves in terms of dance, singing and drumming are passed down across hereditary communities orally. The onslaught of globalization and technology and lack of financial or artistic compensation have adversely impacted the ritual and traditional performances of the Ramman. Being peripheral to mainstream art forms, the awareness of the Ramman beyond its immediate borders is small and it stands the risk of becoming extinct in time.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.paramparaproject.org/traditions_ramman.html|title= Parampara Project | Ramman |website=Paramparaproject.org|access-date=1 December 2021}}</ref>

People wearing the masks of deities and other characters, carved out of the stem of Bhoj tree (Betula Utilis) was performed by the villagers. It was introduced to the world by IGNCA (Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts), Delhi in 2008.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rawat |first=GEETA |date=Jul 22, 2024 |title=Unveiling the Ramman Festival: A Cultural Treasure of Uttarakhand |url=https://samagrashikshanews.online/ramman-festival-uttarakhand/ |website=samagrashikshanews.online/}}</ref> After that festival, gained a lot of popularity among people.

In 2009, [[UNESCO]] inscribed Ramman on its [[Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/garhwal-ritual-theatre-in-unescos-intangible-heritage-list/article27604.ece|title=Garhwal ritual theatre in UNESCO's intangible heritage list|first=A.|last=Srivathsan|date=1 October 2009|access-date=1 December 2021|website=Thehindu.com}}</ref>

Ramman Mahotsav was an important attraction in the 67th Republic Day parade of India and celebrations on 26 January 2016. In these exhibits, the cultural richness and diversity of Ramman Mahotsav was added and the traditions and heritage of the Uttarakhand region was displayed.<ref name="Rawat"/>

The 2015 Kerala [[Meteoroid#Fireball|fireball]] was a [[meteor air burst]] that occurred over [[Kerala]] state in [[India]] on 27 February 2015.<ref>{{cite news| title='Fireball in sky' triggers panic in city| url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Kochi/fireball-in-sky-triggers-panic-in-city/article6943867.ece |access-date=28 February 2015| newspaper=The Hindu| format=updated 2015-03-01}}</ref>

==Initial reports ==
The fireball, reportedly accompanied by a [[sonic boom]], was noticed across the sky in parts of [[Thrissur]], [[Ernakulam]], [[Palakkad]], [[Kozhikode]] and [[Malappuram]] districts of [[Kerala]] at around 22:00 PM [[Indian Standard Time|IST]](local time, UTC +5.30 hours) for about 5 to 6 seconds.<ref>{{cite news| title=Panic among residents as fireballs light up Kerala sky| url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/panic-among-residents-as-fireballs-light-up-kerala-sky/story-ueNuDB5jTbhhTmuTKgOUXJ.html| access-date=25 August 2019| newspaper=Hindustan Times| date=1 March 2015}}</ref>

Initial reports suggested that it may have been a part of a rocket body used to launch the [[Yaogan]] Weixing-26, a Chinese satellite launched in December 2014.{{Citation needed|date=March 2015}} Later, the Meteorology Department and Disaster Management Authority of Kerala refuted the theory stating that if this was the case, it should have been spotted by the meteorology radars.<ref>{{cite news| title=Many Theories as Fireballs Light Up Kerala Sky| url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/Many-Theories-as-Fireballs-Light-Up-Kerala-Sky/2015/02/28/article2690565.ece | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150303030548/http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/Many-Theories-as-Fireballs-Light-Up-Kerala-Sky/2015/02/28/article2690565.ece | url-status=dead | archive-date=3 March 2015 | newspaper=New Indian Express| date=2015-02-28}}</ref>

==Impact sites==
Meteorites (meteoroid debris) hit multiple places in [[Ernakulam]] district. Small fragments which are believed to be parts of the [[meteoroid]] were recovered from Valamboor, near [[Kolenchery]], and [[Kuruppampady]], near [[Perumbavoor]].<ref>{{cite news| title=It was a meteoroid, experts conclude| url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-kerala/it-was-a-meteoroid-experts-conclude/article6947778.ece| date=1 March 2015| newspaper=The Hindu| access-date=2015-03-01}}</ref>

A team of scientists from the State Emergency Operations Centre (SEOC) and [[Geological Survey of India]] visited the impact sites and collected samples for analysis. A preliminary report indicated that the fragments' chemical composition consist of [[nickel]] and [[iron ore]].<ref>{{cite news| title=Scientists Examine 'Rocks', Confirm Kerala Meteor Fall| url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/Scientists-Examine-%E2%80%98Rocks%E2%80%99-Confirm-Kerala-Meteor-Fall/2015/03/02/article2693783.ece| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150303200617/http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/Scientists-Examine-%E2%80%98Rocks%E2%80%99-Confirm-Kerala-Meteor-Fall/2015/03/02/article2693783.ece| url-status=dead| archive-date=3 March 2015| access-date=8 March 2015| newspaper=The New Indian Express| date=2015-03-02}}</ref>

On 14 August 2024, Dixit's first non-fiction book, 'The Many Lives of Syeda X: The Story of an Unknown Indian' published by [[Juggernaut Books]] was launched in Delhi.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://theprint.in/feature/around-town/new-book-sees-delhi-not-through-the-eyes-of-its-rulers-but-35000-workers-who-come-every-day/2231335/ | title=New book sees Delhi not through the eyes of its rulers—but 35,000 workers who come every day | website=[[ThePrint]] }}</ref> The book looks at the last three decades of Indian socio-political and economic turmoil through the eyes of an urban poor, migrant, working-class woman and her family.

The book was published in UK, Ireland, Australia and other commonwealth countries on May 1, 2025 by Footnote Press, an imprint of [[Bonnier Group|Bonnier Books]].

The book looks at the last 30 years of India through the eyes of a working-class, migrant Muslim woman in Delhi who becomes a part of the cheap female labor economy and works over fifty different jobs in three decades without once getting paid a minimum wage. Researched for close to a decade, it is a portal to a messy world hidden away from elite Indians. It is the story of untold millions and asearing account of urban life in New India.

It has been translated now in four languages: Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam and Marathi.

The book was selected as the book of the year 2024 by The Hindu and the Deccan Herald. It won the Ramnath Goenka Sahitya Samman award, 2025 and Kalinga Literary best debutaward, 2025 for this book. The book also received an Honorable Mention by the CG Moore Prize for Human Rights Writing in 2026.

“Through an examination of one woman’s life, The Many Lives of Syeda X tells the story of the invisible people in India who are the backbone of society. Dixit immersed herself in Syeda’s life for many years while researching the book. The result is an immensely readable work of narrative non-fiction that draws the reader into Syeda’s life and family, as she navigates ingrained hardships that have affected generations of those at her level of society in the world’s largest democracy.”
– Honorable Mention, The Jury, [[Christopher G. Moore|CG Moore Prize]] in Human Rights Writing 2026 <ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.cgmoorefoundation.org/news}}</ref>

‘Neha Dixit is awarded the Ramnath Goenka Sahithya Samman for Best Debut for The Many Lives of Syeda X: The Story fan Unknown Indian, a work of grave moral attention and disciplined reportage.
Through the life of an unnamed woman, Dixit traces the quiet yet enduring fortes of gender, poverty and institutional power that govern contemporary Indian existence.

Written with restraint, empathy and investigative clarity the book restores dignity to a life rendered invisible by neglect and silence. It resists facile resolution, allowing contradiction and complexity to speak in their own register.
By revealing how an individual life bears the weight of larger social truths, The Many Lives of Syeda X enlarges the ethical and narrative scope of son fiction, marking a distinguished and consequential literary debut.’ –[[Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Awards|Ramnath Goenka Sahitya Samman]], Best Debut, 2026 <ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/chennai/2026/Jan/06/the-many-lives-of-syeda-x-wins-rngss-author-neha-dixit-in-conversation#:~:text=At%20every%20turn%2C%20she%20paid,Neha%20Dixit}}</ref>

‘One might imagine that it doesn’t get harder than being poor and uneducated, a Muslim and a woman in today’s India. This unique biography of a brave and tenacious woman worker in the unorganized sector shows how the state, through its fitful acts of heavy-handed regulation, makes it much worse. She tries many things and masters them, but just when it looks like her economic life has turned a corner, the state steps in to fix some problem that it should not have permitted to arise in the first place, and her job and hope are gone. An important and eye-opening work.’ – [[Abhijit Banerjee|Abhijit V. Banerjee]], Economist, Noble laureate

It was also shortlisted for Atta-Gallata Award, Kerala Literature Festival and Auther Award.

She received the New India Fellowship in 2017 for this book driven by long research and narrative journalism. It tells the story of an impoverished Muslim migrant family in India's capital, negotiating the pitfalls of politics and economic servitude, holding up a mirror to the shadows behind the sheen of "New India."<ref>{{cite news|url= https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ck7g9kjdrpmo|title=50 jobs, 30 years: The unseen labour of an Indian female worker

John Reed reviewed the book for [[Financial Times]] and wrote:'Ahead of the book’s launch, publicists were comparing it to [[Katherine Boo]]’s Behind the Beautiful Forevers (2012), her chronicle of life in a Mumbai slum. However, Dixit goes one step further by zooming out and providing a historical sweep...Dixit's book is a vivid and memorable account of how post-economic reform in India works. It is a trenchant and invaluable people's history of the bottom of the pyramid in the world's most populous nation.'<ref>https://www.ft.com/content/5576dde4-782b-4ae8-bf5d-4cbc2e2ae56c</ref>

[[Umar Khalid]] reviewed the book for 'The Wire' from Tihar jail. He wrote, 'Dixit’s conceptual clarity is remarkable and her prose lucid, and she writes with deep empathy for the people. She constructs a virtual social history, or history from below, reminiscent of the flavours one gets while reading the works of old British Marxist historians like E.P. Thompson or Eric Hobsbawm.

Dixit reminds us that a journalist’s job is not to act as an amplifier for the establishment’s propaganda, but to bring into focus the people and issues that are conveniently invisibilised and disregarded.'<ref>https://thewire.in/books/many-lives-syeda-x-neha-dixit-dark-underbelly-new-india</ref>

Rahul Jacob wrote in the [[Mint Lounge]], 'There will likely not be a better book of gritty Indian reporting for years to come-and certainly none that takes contemporary Indian economic myth-making to task as The Many Lives of Syeda X poignantly does.’<ref>https://www.livemint.com/mint-lounge/ideas/neha-dixit-book-informal-economy-religious-polarisation-delhi-violence-11728021343528.html</ref>

[[Priya Ramani]] wrote that it is 'the invisible India book everyone must read.'<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.ndtvprofit.com/opinion/the-invisible-india-book-everyone-must-read | title=The Invisible India Book Everyone Must Read | date=9 August 2024 }}</ref>

Priavi Joshi wrote in the [[Scroll.in]], 'The book is a testament to what fine journalism promises to be – rich, complex, empowering the forgotten, and capable of capturing the zeitgeist.'<ref>https://scroll.in/article/1072324/the-many-lives-of-syeda-x-the-story-of-an-everywoman-whose-constant-battles-build-our-economy</ref>

Ruben Banerjee wrote in The Federal that 'The story that Dixit ends up writing is a paean to the grit and gumption of the untold millions adrift on despair in urban India, narrated without condescension. The book is also as much a testimony to the author’s bottomless commitment to narrate and document real stories of a mass of real and unsung people that should really matter.<ref name="Najeeb">{{Cite web |last=Najeeb |first=Hajara |date=2024-10-16 |title='The Many Lives Of Syeda X' And How It Has To Be Told |url=https://feminisminindia.com/2024/10/16/the-many-lives-of-syeda-x-neha-dixit-book-review/ |access-date=2024-11-06 |website=Feminism in India |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://thefederal.com/category/features/the-many-lives-of-syeda-x-review-a-powerful-portrait-of-indias-hapless-migrants-helpless-poor-138286 | title=The Many Lives of Syeda X review: Powerful portrait of India's hapless migrants, helpless poor | date=11 August 2024 }}</ref>

Prathyush Parasuraman wrote in the [[Frontline (magazine)|Frontline]], 'To read the journalist Neha Dixit's The Many Lives Of Syeda X then is to see life invade storytelling in one of the most thrilling Marxist texts. It is The Great Indian Marxist Book, a journalist's account of one woman traced from the early 1990s to the present day, from the Babri Masjid demolition in 1992 to the Delhi riots of 2020, threading through 50 different types of jobs...Dixit produces not a protagonist but instead a historical subject.'<ref>https://frontline.thehindu.com/columns/hindi-cinema-trends-nostalgia-realism-fantasy-middle-class-narratives-industry-crisis-neha-dixit-tier-2-cinema/article68677551.ece</ref>

Soutik Biswas writes in the [[BBC World Service|BBC]]: "Ms Dixit’s book shines a spotlight on the invisible lives of India’s neglected female home-based workers."<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ck7g9kjdrpmo | title=50 jobs, 30 years: The unseen labour of an Indian female worker }}</ref>

[[Urvashi Butalia]] wrote,<ref>https://thewire.in/books/a-book-that-is-a-remarkable-quiet-and-yet-devastating-account-of-an-ordinary-womans-life</ref> 'it is a book that is a remarkable, quiet, and yet devastating account of an ordinary woman’s life...In setting Syeda’s life, and that of the people around her, against these larger developments, Neha Dixit also skilfully weaves in the larger story of ‘India’ and the complexities of “modernity”, attentive all the time to what modernisation means for the poor and vulnerable. And yet, unlike so much writing about the poor, Dixit is never patronising.

...Indeed, her restrained, unadorned prose, does not turn her characters into victims, or indeed gloss over their ‘flaws’. Instead, she brings a storyteller’s skill to her characters who, within the space of a few spare lines, become real people, oppressed, exploited and yet, able to sometimes negotiate with power, and other times defeat it by just stepping away and, on rare occasions, confront it (as Syeda does when she joins a union), vent their anger at it, and win the battle...

...It is precisely for this quietness, this matter-of-factness, this simplicity and truthfulness that this book must be read. It offers those of us who live with privilege, a mirror to the casual cruelty and indifference towards those less privileged, that informs our lives.'

In his biography, George admits that his inspiration to make the movie was indeed the suicide of Shobha, but adds that more importantly it was his long-time dream to make a film about 'cinema', which had never been tried before in the Malayalam industry at the time.<ref name="encyclopedia">{{Cite book |url=https://indiancine.ma/texts/indiancine.ma%3AEncyclopedia_of_Indian_Cinema/text.pdf |title=Encyclopaedia of Indian Cinema |last1=Rajadhyaksha |first1=Ashish |last2=Willemen |first2=Paul |publisher=[[Oxford University Press]] |year=1998 |isbn=0-19-563579-5 |pages=461 |orig-year=1994}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Sunil |first=K.

'''''Ghajinikanth''''' is a 2018 Indian [[Tamil language|Tamil]]-language [[romantic comedy]] film written and directed by [[Santhosh P. Jayakumar]] and produced by [[K. E. Gnanavel Raja]]. The film stars [[Arya (actor)|Arya]] and [[Sayyeshaa]] in the lead roles. It is a remake of the 2015 Telugu film ''[[Bhale Bhale Magadivoy]].''

== Plot==

The protagonist, Rajinikanth ([[Arya (actor)|Arya]]), was born in a theatre screening of ''[[Dharmathin Thalaivan]]'', and like [[Rajinikanth]]'s characters in that film, he has a [[Amnesia|forgetful nature]]. The film doffs its hat at the older film by introducing its protagonist in underwear, as he has forgotten to wear pants. This condition of Rajini is a constant source of embarrassment to his parents Ramanathan ([[Aadukalam Naren]]) and Lakshmi ([[Uma Padmanabhan]]), as they cannot find a suitable match for him. One prospective girl's father Sathyamoorthy ([[Sampath Raj]]) insults Rajini because of this. As fate would have it, Rajini ends up falling in love with Sathyamoorthy's daughter Vandhana ([[Sayyeshaa]]), but she is unaware of Rajini's forgetfulness. How long can Rajini continue with this facade, especially with Ajay (Lijeesh), a cop who wants to marry Vandhana and is trying to expose him?

'''Sailajaranjan Majumdar''' (19 July 1900 – 24 May 1992) was a distinguished exponent and teacher of [[Rabindra Sangeet]].

==Early life==
The son of Ramanikishore and Saralasundari Majumdar, Sailajaranjan was born at Baham, Netrokona, now in [[Bangladesh]], on 19 July 1900. He passed matriculation from Dutta High School in Netrakona, in 1919, I Sc from [[Vidyasagar College|Metropolitan College]] and B Sc from [[Scottish Church College]]. Although he had an aptitude for both vocal and instrumental music from childhood he followed his father's wishes. In 1924, he stood first in M Sc chemistry from the University of Calcutta and worked for a short period as a lecturer in [[Asutosh College]]. He then acquired a degree in law in 1927 and joined [[Netrokona Sadar Upazila|Netrokona]] bar library for some time. With the efforts of Prabhat Chandra Gupta, professor of economics, he joined [[Santiniketan]] in 1932. While working as a lecturer in chemistry, he had an opportunity of learning [[Rabindranath Tagore|Rabindranath's]] songs from the poet himself as well as from [[Dinendranath Tagore]].<ref name = "sailajaranjan">Bose, Anjali (editor), 2004, ''Sansad Bangali Charitabhidhan'' (Biographical dictionary) Vol 2, {{in lang|bn}}, p 337, {{ISBN|81-86806-98-9}} (set) and {{ISBN|81-86806-99-7}} (Vol 2).</ref><ref name="visva">{{cite web | url = http://www.visvabharati.ac.in/SailajaranjanMajumdar.html| title = Sailajaranjan Majumdar (1901-1976) | publisher = Visva Bharati |accessdate = 10 August 2019}}</ref>

The '''Sogra festival''' is the [[Tiwa (Lalung)|Tiwa]]<ref>{{Cite web|last=Expert|first=NE Travel|date=2020-04-19|title=THE TIWA TRIBE|url=https://www.ne.cab/tribe/the-tiwa-tribe/|access-date=2021-11-17|website=NE Tribe|language=en-US}}</ref> festival that marks the beginning of the cultivation season.<ref>{{Cite web|title=SOGRA MISAWA BEING CELEBRATED BY THE TIWA COMMUNITY - INSIDE NE|url=https://www.insidene.com/sogra-misawa-celebrated-tiwa-community/|access-date=2021-11-17|language=en-US}}</ref> During this festival the village priest or Loro, performs a ritual called Mindai lekhewa. In this ritual the Loro recites the names of various deities and events that had happened in the past which may continue for several hours. The recitation ceremony takes place in the middle of the night at the residence of the Loro in presence of the Pisai (village elders) the Panthai Khel (youth group).

==Time of the festival==
This festival is celebrated in the month of March and April. It may be termed as the spring festival observed by Amkha, Amsai, Amri, Marjong and Lumphui village.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Tiwa Community Festivals Issues and analysis @ abhipedia Powered by ABHIMANU IAS|url=https://abhipedia.abhimanu.com/Article/State/NDY3MAEEQQVVEEQQVV/Tiwa-Community-Festivals-Assam-State|access-date=2021-11-17|website=abhipedia.abhimanu.com|language=en-us}}</ref> These are the four root villages that maintain the tradition of celebrating the Sogra festival. Generally it begins on Wednesday and continues till Monday. On these days the youth are actively involved in various activities associated with the festival.

==History==
Regarding origin of the Sogra festival there are two different versions of a legend that are current among the Tiwa.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|last=Patar|first=Raktim|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tRAeEAAAQBAJ&dq=wanchuwa+festival&pg=PT51|title=The Tiwa Ethnohistory|date=2021-02-14|publisher=Notion Press|isbn=978-1-63745-518-0|language=en}}</ref> According to a one version associated with Amsai village, this festival was introduced by an orphan boy named Majibor Sagra. According to the story, one day while Majibor was roaming around in the hills, he found some unusual white flowers which resemble snow. When the village elders came to know about the flowers, they thought, it was a gift from the god and decided to celebrate the finding as a religious festival. As the boy belonged to Sagra clan hence this festival was named after his clan. Another version of the story associated with the Marjong group tells that one day when Sharipahai, the supreme god was sitting in a meeting with other gods like Thalia,Thogriya and Palakhongor, a bunch of flowers fell from the sky. The flowers were very beautiful hence Thalia took them with him and gave it to the young boys of his village. The flowers fascinated the children who started dancing. Seeing their joyfulness the gods decided to commemorate the occasion by having a celebration. It may be noted that the Sogra festival is said to have been first held at Amsai.

The first edition of the Tigerland India Film Festival was held at Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh (India) on August 26–27, 2015. ''The Bollywood legend [[Waheeda Rehman]] attended the festival and gave away the prizes. Renowned film-critic and writer [[Bhawana Somaaya]], who is also an advisor with TIFF, presided over the event and delivered the inaugural address.''

The event was attended by top bureaucrats from forest department besides wildlife experts, photographers, amateur filmmakers, school and college students, and young wildlife-lovers.
